Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Prick the sweet potatoes with a knife and place them in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on their size.

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, cut them in half, and let them cool slightly.

Scoop the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl and mash them with a potato masher, leaving them a little chunky.

Add 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the mashed sweet potatoes and stir to combine.

Butter a baking dish using a Le Creuset pan.

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the buttered baking dish.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons of butter, cutting in the butter using a fork until blended.

Add pecans to the topping mixture and combine.

Spread the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until heated through and the topping is golden brown.
